Per some feedback via Discord (tis the place I am alive most often, should stop by!) and Reddit PMs - I briefly took the 'Still Alive' updates offline to work out some kinks and process input. Let's celebrate: the fact that Away From Life hits Steam Early Access April 22nd, that we now know we'll be waiting till 2027 for LONG GONE, that CAIRN is bringing us a free DLC, that Frostrail is running a playtest from April 16th to April 27th, that DayZ is still dropping ho-hum content patches, thoug...

Boom! That marks the first full week Still Alive. Pretty pleased with the structure and cadence, think I have some solid pipelines in place. Maybe some section tweaks, but overall doable.

Hat tip to the folks that shared or commented on the last SAD# post, I'm glad it's resonating with you guys! Also appreciate the folks that touched base via Discord. Made a few tweaks to the layout in tonight's post, so lemme know how that shakes out on your end. Been noticing a weird quirk (sometimes) when I view the post in the Reddit app - sentences appear to be cut off/missing but show on desktop or when editing? Oddballs.

This was supposed to be a much more detailed debut for the new format I’ve been working on, but life went pear-shape on Thursday - most of the day went to ferrying a sick cat back and forth to the vet for IV fluids. Then OH decided to gear up for storms and tornado watches Thurs night, and I somehow fell down the rabbit hole of the Max Velocity Severe Weather Center on YouTube (weirdly addictive, by the way). Today was mostly spent playing catch up on life stuff. Rather than let the backlog k...
Boom, catching up my brain (and my notes, and you guys) from my RSS feed - again, this spans from end of February (LIFE SILENCE) to, ehhh, let's call it late last week. Articles- Gaming & Non-Gaming, mixed. I do enjoy supporting independent outlets whenever possible (hopefully someone somewhere is doing that for Hashtag's site 😂) so keep an eye on your article count with some of the small outlets - sometimes you get a specific amount per day without logging in. Reddit is weighing identity...
Hey pals, long time no see! This will be a little more meandering since I'll be covering highlights in the huge chunk o'time since my last Recap. Multiple announcements or notes for specific games or ideas will be hooked together, so this will not be chronological. BECAUSE this will be so long, I'll be skipping Discord news, other subreddits AND my RSS feed - it will (primarily) be Steam Activity posts, various press release/campaign emails, and announcements. I'll follow up with the other so...
